So...I just finish polishing off a bottle of Maker's 46 and I am not too impressed. It is definitely a step or two above "regular" Maker's...but it still requires a good deal of water or ice. Maybe it is a psychological thing left over from guzzling the stuff in college, but both expressions of Maker's Mark make me gag just a little bit when I drink them straight.

Maker's Mark is 45%abv in the US? Here in Australia it's 40%abv! I think we're being short-changed, hmm... Well, this is a little confusing… Maker’s Mark is 45%abv in the US?

Its disgusting. Makers Mark isn’t the greatest bourbon ever made or anything, but as far as popular, regularly stocked bourbons go – you cant beat it. And yes, I drink it with an ice cube or two – makes it much more tasty. Knob Creek tastes like bile to me. Its disgusting.

We had exactly the same response: Maker's Mark was a distant third. Surprising result has been confirmed by many friends since. Hard to understand your A-, vs. B- for the WT.
